(c) the Contractor has paid the liquidated damages specified in CC Sub Clause 28.3 hereof; and
(e) as built drawings, and operating and maintenance manuals and CD’s etc. as per Technical
Specifications of the Bidding Documents are furnished.
25.3.2 At any time after any of the events set out in CC Sub-Clause 25.3.1 have occurred, the Contractor may
give a notice to the Project Manager requesting the issue of an Operational Acceptance Certificate in the
form provided in the Bidding Documents or in another form acceptable to the Employer in respect of the
Facilities or the part thereof specified in such notice as at the date of such notice.
25.3.3 The Project Manager shall, after consultation with the Employer, and within twenty-one (21) days after
receipt of the Contractor’s notice, issue an Operational Acceptance Certificate.
25.3.4 If within twenty one (21) days after receipt of the Contractor’s notice, the Project Manager fails to issue
the Operational Acceptance Certificate or fails to inform the Contractor in writing of the justifiable
reasons why the Project Manager has not issued the Operational Acceptance Certificate, the Facilities or
the relevant part thereof shall be deemed to have been accepted as at the date of the Contractor’s said
notice.
25.4.1 If the Contract specifies that Completion and Commissioning shall be carried out in respect of parts of the
Facilities, the provisions relating to Completion and Commissioning including the Guarantee Test shall
apply to each such part of the Facilities individually, and the Operational Acceptance Certificate shall be
issued accordingly for each such part of the Facilities.
25.4.2 If a part of the Facilities comprises facilities such as buildings, for which no Commissioning or Guarantee
Test is required, then the Project Manager shall issue the Operational Acceptance Certificate for such
facility when it attains Completion, provided that the Contractor shall thereafter complete any outstanding
minor items that are listed in the Operational Acceptance Certificate.
26.1 The Contractor guarantees that it shall attain Completion of the Facilities (or a part for which a separate
time for completion is specified in the CC) within the Time for Completion specified in the CC pursuant to
CC Sub-Clause 8, or within such extended time to which the Contractor shall be entitled under CC Clause
40 (Extension of Time for Completion) hereof.
26.2 If the Contractor fails to comply with the Time for Completion in accordance with Clause CC 26 for the
whole of the facilities, (or a part for which a separate time for completion is agreed) then the Contractor
shall pay to the Employer a sum equivalent to half percent (0.5%) of the Contract Price as liquidated
damages for such default and not as a penalty, without prejudice to the Employer's other remedies under
the Contract, for each week or part thereof which shall elapse between the relevant Time for Completion
pursuant to Clause 26.1 above and the date stated in Taking Over Certificate of the whole of the Works
(or a part for which a separate time for completion is agreed) subject to the limit of five percent (5%) of
Contract Price. The Employer may, without prejudice to any other method of recovery, deduct the amount
of such damages from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor. The payment or deduction of
such damages shall not relieve the Contractor from his obligation to complete the Works, or from any
other of his obligations and liabilities under the Contract.
For the application of liquidated damages, the schedule date for Taking Over of the entire system shall be
the basis, and not intermediate schedule milestone.
26.3 No bonus will be given for earlier Completion of the Facilities or part thereof.
27.1 The Contractor warrants that the Facilities or any part thereof shall be free from defects in the design,
engineering, materials and workmanship of the Plant and Equipment supplied and of the work executed.

workmanship of the Plant and Equipment supplied or of the work executed by the Contractor, the
Contractor shall promptly in consultation and agreement with the Employer regarding appropriate
remedying of the defects, and at its cost, repair, replace or otherwise make good (as the Contractor shall, at
its discretion, determine) such defect as well as any damage to the Facilities caused by such defect. The
Contractor shall not be responsible for the repair, replacement or making good of any defect or of any
damage to the Facilities arising out of or resulting from any of the following causes:
27.3 The Contractor's obligations under this CC Clause 27 shall not apply to
(a) any materials that are supplied by the Employer under CC Sub-Clause 21.2 (Employer-Supplied Plant,
Equipment and Materials), are normally consumed in operation, or have a normal life shorter than the
Defect Liability Period stated herein.
(b)any designs, specifications or other data designed, supplied or specified by or on behalf of the Employer
or any matters for which the Contractor has disclaimed responsibility herein.
(c) any other materials supplied or any other work executed by or on behalf of the Employer, except for
the work executed by the Employer under CC Sub-Clause 27.7.

available evidence thereof, promptly following the discovery thereof. The Employer shall afford all
reasonable opportunity for the Contractor to inspect any such defect.
27.5 The Employer shall afford the Contractor all necessary access to the Facilities and the Site to enable the
Contractor to perform its obligations under this CC Clause 27. The Contractor may, with the consent of the
Employer, remove from the Site any Plant and Equipment or any part of the Facilities that are defective if
the nature of the defect, and/or any damage to the Facilities caused by the defect, is such that repairs
cannot be expeditiously carried out at the Site.
27.6 If the repair, replacement or making good is of such a character that it may affect the efficiency of the
Facilities or any part thereof, the Employer may give to the Contractor a notice requiring that tests of the
defective part of the Facilities shall be made by the Contractor immediately upon completion of such
remedial work, whereupon the Contractor shall carry out such tests.
If such part fails the tests, the Contractor shall carry out further repair, replacement or making good (as the
case may be) until that part of the Facilities passes such tests.
The tests in character shall in any case be not less than what has already been agreed by the employer and
the Contractor for the original equipment/part of the Facilities.
27.7 If the Contractor fails to commence the work necessary to remedy such defect or any damage to the
Facilities caused by such defect within a reasonable time (which shall in no event be considered to be less
than fifteen (15) days), the Employer may, following notice to the Contractor, proceed to do such work,
and the reasonable costs incurred by the Employer in connection therewith shall be paid to the Employer
by the Contractor or may be deducted by the Employer from any amount due the Contractor or claimed
under the Performance Security.
27.8 If the facilities or any part thereof cannot be used by reason of such defect and/or making good of such
defect, the Defect Liability Period of the Facilities or such part, as the case may be, shall be extended by a
period equal to the period during which the Facilities or such part cannot be used by the Employer because
of any of the aforesaid reasons.
Upon correction of the defects in the Facilities or any part thereof by repair/replacement, such
repair/replacement shall have the Defect Liability Period extended by a period of Sixty (60) months from

Workers/Indemnification), the Contractor shall be under no liability whatsoever and howsoever arising,
and whether under the Contract or at law, in respect of defects in the Facilities or any part thereof, the
Plant and Equipment, design or engineering or work executed that appear after operational acceptance or
any part thereof, except where such defects are the result of the gross negligence, fraud, criminal or willful
action of the Contractor.
27.10 In addition, the Contractor shall also provide an extended warranty for any such component of the
Facilities and during the period of time as may be specified in the CC. Such obligation shall be in addition
to the defect liability specified under CC Sub-Clause 27.2.

Contractor shall at its cost and expense make such changes, modifications an/or additions to the Plant or
any part thereof as may be necessary to meet at least the minimum level of such Guarantees. The
Contractor shall notify the Employer upon completion of the necessary changes, modifications and/or
additions, and shall request the Employer to repeat the Guarantee Test until the minimum level of the
Guarantees has been met. If the Contractor eventually fails to meet the minimum level of Functional
Guarantees, the Employer may consider termination of the Contract pursuant to CC Sub-Clause 42.2 and
recover the payments already made to the Contractor.
28.3 If, for reasons attributable to the Contractor, the Functional Guarantees specified in Appendix 8
(Functional Guarantees) to the Contract Agreement are not attained either in whole or in part, but the

Contract Agreement is met, the Contractor shall, at the Employer's option, either
(a) make such changes, modifications and/or additions to the Facilities or any part thereof that are
necessary to attain the Functional Guarantees at its cost and expense within a mutually agreed time
and shall request the Employer to repeat the Guarantee Test, or
(b) pay liquidated damages to the Employer in respect of the failure to meet the Functional Guarantees
in accordance with the provisions in Appendix 8 (Functional Guarantees) to the Contract
Agreement.

payment of liquidated damages under CC sub clause 28.3, upto the limitation of liability specified in the
Appendix-8 (Functional Guarantees) to the Contract Agreement, shall completely satisfy the Contractor’s
guarantees under CC Sub clause 28.3, and the Contractor shall have not further liability whatsoever to the
Employer in respect thereof. Upon the payment of such liquidated damages by the Contractor, the Project
Manager shall issue the Operational Acceptance Certificate for the Facilities or any part thereof in respect
of which the liquidated damages have been so paid.

PRICE ADJUSTMENT
The prices are to remain FIRM and FIXED for the duration of the Contract except for Civil Works.
The cost of Civil Works as per approved indices of CPWD shall be calculated due to increase/decrease in

If after submission of the tender, the price of cement and/or steel reinforcement bars incorporated in the
works (not being a material supplied from the Engineer-in Charge’s stores in accordance with relevant
contract clause thereof) increase(s) beyond the price(s) prevailing at the time of the last stipulated date for
receipt of tenders (including extensions, if any) for the work, then the amount of the contract shall
accordingly be varied and provided further that any such increase shall not be payable if such increase has
become operative after the stipulated date of completion of work in question.
If after submission of the tender, the prices of cement and/or steel reinforcement bars incorporated in the

relevant contract clause thereof) is decreased. DTL shall in respect of these materials incorporated in the
works ( not being materials supplied from the Engineers-in-Charge’s stores in accordance with the relevant
contract clause thereof) be entitled to deduct from the dues of the contractor such amount as shall be
equivalent to the difference between the prices of cement and/or steel reinforcement bars as prevailed at
the time of last stipulated date for receipt of tenders including extensions if any for the work and the prices
of these materials on the coming into force of such base price of cement and/or steel reinforcement bars
issued under authority of Director General (Works) CPWD.
The increase/decrease in prices shall be determined by the All India Wholesale Price Indices for Cement
and Steel (bars and rods) as published by Economic Advisor to Government of India, Ministry of
Commerce and Industry and base price for cement and/or steel reinforcement bars as issued under
authority of Director General (Works), CPWD as valid on the last stipulated date of receipt of tender,
including extension if any and for the period under consideration.
The amount of the contract shall accordingly be varied for cement and/or steel reinforcement bars and
